Description
Rudolph Snellius (1546-1613), Dutch mathematician. Born Rudolph Snel von Royen, Snellius was born at Oudewater. He studied in Cologne and Heidelberg before gaining a teaching post at Marburg. He taught the logic of Ramus instead of he strict Aristotelian logic along with mathematics and several languages. In 1578 he returned to Oudewater and to a post at Leiden. Snellius was a strong influence on some of the leading political and intellectual embers of the Dutch Golden Age, ultimately upon the doctrines of the Reformation. His son, Willebrord Snellius, was an astronomer who devised Snell's Law. This engraving comes from van Meurs' Illustris Academia Lugd-Batava printed at Leiden in 1613.
